A new project announcement has been made by Ay Yapım, which has brought many projects to the TV series world so far. El Turco, which is expected to be one of the ambitious historical series of the new season, draws attention as a very ambitious project. While the script of the series continues, it is already a matter of curiosity who will take part.
Ay Yapım started working on the novel “El Turco” by Orhan Yeniaras, for which it acquired the rights. The script and casting works of the project, which will be adapted from the novel “El Turco”, in which history and fiction are intertwined, continue.
The project, in which a half-fictional, half-true story is told, is about the Ottoman raider “El Turco” settling in the Italian village of Moena after the 2nd Siege of Vienna and liberating the village from the feudal lords.
About Orhan Yeniaras’ historical fiction novel “El Turco”: “2. Ottoman Intelligence Officer Balaban Ağa, who was found injured by the Moena people during the Siege of Vienna, settled in this village and organized a successful peasant uprising against the feudal lords, who tied the people to tribute.”
